NYC Mayor Eric Adams seeks earlier trial start date - April Fool's Day - to clear way for re-election bid
Briefly

Mayor Eric Adams' legal team argues that moving his corruption trial to April 1 is crucial for his re-election campaign as it would prevent ongoing distractions.
Adams' lawyer, Alex Spiro, emphasized that an earlier trial date not only protects the mayor's rights but allows him to engage fully with voters ahead of the primary.
The trial's timing is pivotal as it coincides with significant campaign events like debates, further complicating Adams' bid amidst allegations of illegal donations.
The case could significantly affect Adams' re-election prospects, with his lawyer stating that until resolved, federal charges create a cloud over his campaign.
